Is this earlier than usual? Im used to ZP coming out at 5pm (uk)
Oh well. Im not complaining!

 

[icame]

This game is honestly the only reason I want a wii. That and metroid prime trilogy.

Did you find the most anti-yahtzee game you could for him to review?

Sounds like Zool...and that's terrifyingingly old. (two ings for emphasis)

But as we've seen, being a fat girly lad is OK as long as you can piledrive.

 

[Nincompoop]

If this review won't be positive, I will kill you O_O!
*watched*
Aw. But it's so cute, Yahtzee! That should render it immune to scrutiny by default!

 

[ramboondiea]

haha, loved it, yeah fuck the children (not in that way)

I am always surprised about some of the things he can get away with saying in his videos. Something about his hankies from the wastebasket. Ewwwwwwwww.

Anyways I had no idea that was part of Epic Yarn... I thought it was a platformer like the good ol days. I am trying to talk the wife into a Wii so I can play all the Mario games I missed when I jumped to the PS1. This one prolly won't be on my list.

i never had any hopes for "brainy prick yes". my rom hack of one of the older kirby games works just fine, thanks.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

and here i was expecting a Dragon Age 2 review. Well expectations shattered i still enjoyed this.

 

[Okysho]

Wow! Didn't see this one coming... I thought Yahtzee was too professional to review Epic Yarn...

Ah well now my suspicions are completely right! Nintendo is officially on it's last legs. If Skyward Sword blows, I'm melting my console.

Also, it looks like Epic Yarn took everything Sakurai couldn't put into SSBB adventure mode and threw it into one big game. I know HAL entertainment are notorious for secrets and backtracking, but FUCK!

 

[Unhappy Crow]

I still want this game even if it is short and easy.

What's stopping me is that I've been playing games on my PS3 more than my Wii.

 

[gphjr14]

So essentially its 50% adventure and 50% apartment manager sim.

Also congrats to the first 3 posters who somehow managed to watch a vid over 5 minutes long and post within 4 minutes...

 

[Moloboen]

I hate kids too! I really despise the little buggers.
Like Yathee said: F*** the future!

P.S. hillarious video as always

 

[esperandote]

From the triler it looked challenging. Maybe a higher dificulty level?

 

[Azurian]

Somehow I figured he wasn't going to like Kirby but kids these days are lame.

Only partially being a jaded cynic, I found a lot to enjoy in the theme and style of Epic Yarn. Yes, it's all so much fluff in the end, but find me a game that doesn't have gameplay-lengthening time wasters. I just found it to be a nice colorful enjoyable romp in a sea of gray soulless drabness.

Perhaps K:EY is just being honest in the idea that video games are just a big lead up to nowhere.
